The heart is the master pumping organ of the body and pumps the blood through an intricate web of blood vessels. The blood supplies blood to every nook and corner of the body. The heart can increase its output during the time of stress or exercise to fulfill the body requirements. Heart failure is a term to describe a condition when the heart is not able to fulfill the body’s requirements of oxygen and nutrition. When the amount of blood pumped by the heart is less than the requirement or the cardiac output is low, then this condition is termed as Congestive Heart Failure, CHF, Congestive Cardiac Failure, or CCF. It can also occur normally or during the time of stress when the body’s requirement increases. This condition can be precipitated by severe anemia, beriberi (vitamin B1/thiamine deficiency), Thyrotoxicosis, Paget's disease, arteriovenous fistulae or arteriovenous malformations. This condition is known as acute Congestive Heart Failure. In chronic Congestive Cardiac Failure the heart is not able to pump even the amount of the blood required in normal circumstances.

"When my mother fell ill with cancer I wanted to find a natural solution to help with her suffering.
After an excessive
research I learned about Wheatgrass. And it seemed to work!
She passed through chemotherapy with ease. But was it the Wheatgrass?
And if it was, how come it was so hard to find out about it?"
